Top Secret Magic - Packet Card Tricks

The Only Three Card Trick in the World Using Four Cards

A great stand up trick from Joe Riding. This is the trick that inspired the "gaffed" version that is "Sidewalk shuffle". Both were originally sold by Ken Brooke, so you know this has to be not only GOOD but COMMERCIAL too!

Its easy to do, has an appealing patter story with a gambling theme, and is sure-fire entertainment with built in humour.

Comes complete with four genuine "Bicycle" Jumbo Cards.

Ideal size for your jacket pocket.

Small enough to look good close up table hopping, Large enough to use on a stage!

Bruce Cervon's Dirty Deal

Originally sold here in the UK by Ken Brooke. So you know this is a great trick. One of my constant favorite over the years.

Five cards are shown, four are of like value, the fifth different- a poker hand. These cards are counted showing all blue backs. One card is placed on the table face down. A red backed card is removed from the wallet and placed on top, now all the cards change to red backs. one is placed on the table next to the first and a multi-colored back is removed from the wallet and placed on top of the packet. All of the cards change to multi-colored backs. One is removed and placed next to the other two on the table and a third patterned back card is removed from the wallet and added to the packet, all of the cards change once again to match this third patterned back. One of these cards is placed on the table where four different colored backed cards are seen. Turning the cards over that remain in his hand, the performer lays them out on the table and each is a completely different color and design back altogether. Each of the nine cards on the table have a different back.

Highly recomended. (If you can track down a copy of Ken Brookes origianl routine there are some nice extra touches well worth adding!) - M

Arachnophobia - The spider bites back - Malcolm Norton "M" & Matt hall "M" Junior

Be Afraid be very afraid….

Asking a young lady to help, you show her five cards. Four cards depicting mirrors and one a spider, you weave a story around a spider that leaves cobwebs on all of the mirrors, then just disappears. Sure enough the mirrors suddenly become covered in cobwebs and the spider has vanished from his card… You ask the young lady to help make the spider reappear by waving her hand over the cards. Wait for the scream… Trust me there will be one. For there on the back of her hand is the spider. This is the ultimate reaction trick ! Laminated to last a lifetime. Included is a bonus routine for those that feel giving their audience a heart attack maybe going too far for the sake of entertainment… Based on "The Web" by Jim Pace.

CD Poker - Vernet Magic

The performer explains that he has a new computer program that allows him to win every time in poker without even using a computer. The performer then shows a CD that has ten face cards printed on one side, and card backs on the other. The performer hands a spectator five paper clips and the CD explaining that the spectator will pick out the performer's hand by clipping any five facedown cards and the remaining cards will be the spectator's hand. The performer then asks the spectator to turn the CD face up showing the five clipped cards to be the winning hand!!

From a packet of 12 cards the Magician deals 6 cards to the spectator and keeps 6 for themself. Both the Spectator and the Magician place their cards behind their backs, mix them up and remove one card. Keeping it face down so even they don't know which card they have chosen, the Magician and spectator exchange cards and place them face up within the packet of cards behind their backs. When the two packets are brought forward and fanned out it is seen that both the face up "chosen" cards are identical… The spectators start to believe that maybe all the cards are the same!!! "Well, all of these other cards may be the same…" you say "but…" You turn over all the other cards to reveal that all the cards are all the same but a totally different card!

Ultimate 3 Card Monte Michael Skinner

Michael Skinner's vast working repertoire, larger perhaps than any other magician in history, contained some of the most difficult sleight-of-hand tricks imaginable. Yet, one of his pet tricks, a feature of his close-up act at the Golden Nugget Casino in Las Vegas where he performed for two decades, is this self-working miracle—the Ultimate 3 Card Monte. Don’t be fooled by the fact that it almost works by itself, though. Michael Skinner fried audiences with this routine and after he released the secret, the Ultimate 3 Card Monte found itself into the working repertoires of professional close-up magicians all over the world. And now—it can be yours! Everything (except a bit of practice) is included in the package —professionally illustrated instructions, original patter, and the specially printed Bicycle-brand cards that make this miracle possible. The Ultimate 3 Card Monte—it’s the stuff of legends.

If you have to ask what the name stands for then you haven't seen it done
Four Jokers magically turn face down one at a time. When they are turned face up, they have turned into the four Aces!!! ABSOLUTELY DEVASTATING! Yes you really do see the fronts and backs of each Ace and unmistakably show only four cards at the end. Nothing to ditch or palm off. No complicated slight of hand. Instant reset making prefect for table hopping… This is undoubtedly the trick of the year and only.

Four different coloured alien faces appear and disappear one at a time between pictures of earth and space. Then, with a wave of the hand, the four cards with the aliens change to four "green immigration cards" - then they immediately and magically change into the aliens again this time all four at once! For the finale, all four cards are shown to have changed into photographs of the famous "alien autopsy." Comes complete with full color laminated cards and detailed instructions. Very nice, resets instantly, perfect for table hopping and very entertaining.

With the aid of an "Invisible Die" a spectator chooses one of six cards. The magician reveals his prediction, It does of course match ! This is incredibly clean. No funny spelling business, they throw / choose, a number you count to that card. Very, Very clean. Very simple. Resets instantly and perfect for table hopping with an in the hands routine included. This one is a must so simple but it blows them away every time.

Everyone has heard of the three card Monte or find the lady. This routine is very simple to do, as it is virtually self-working.

You show three cards, two Jokers and one Queen. All the spectators have to do is find the Queen. They try and fail time after time, even though the Queen is shown at various times during the routine. Finally you tell them they should never gamble on the Queen because there is never a Queen in the first place. On turning the cards over it is seen that the Queen has now vanished.

The front and backs of each card can be displayed freely after the effect is over, a very strong effect and a really entertaining routine.

While demonstrating the "Three Card Monte" The Monte card reverses itself and changes places with the other cards not once but several times. Then the backs change colour one by one ! Great routine, easy to do with a big impact ! Resets itself, perfect for table hopping. Based on Matt Corins Mondo Monte.

Probably the best "Packet Trick" in the world, EVER !
Wow ! It had better be good after that… Following an entertaining patter story about the "Three Card Monte", you show three cards (Sorry that was rather obvious wasn't it). Two have a red diamond printed on them and the third has a blue diamond on it. First you try to find the 'blue' card but they've all turned red, next they all turn blue then back to red again. Finally in desperation you turn over the cards on at a time… One red, one blue, now if you can tell me what the last one is… POW ! The punch finish that'll knock em dead. I'll not give it away but it's a killer. Not self working but not difficult to learn. Made in Bicycle Cards, with carry case. You WILL use this, today, tomorrow and the rest of your life…
Unreservedly recommended.

Possibly one of my favorite storyline card tricks. Peter Kane's Variation of his own "Wild Card" card effect using old fashioned style cards and a great story line about a "Gypsy's Curse". Seven ancient playing cards are shown to be six black spot cards and one King of Diamonds. you tell the story of a propietor of a game of chance at an old traveling fair who divides the seven cards into two groups and asks the spectators to wager as to which group contains the Diamond. An elderly Gypsy woman having wagered and lost, placed a curse upon the man and his game. When next he attempts to operate his game it is found that all the cards are winners! The cards are fanned to show all the faces are Diamond Kings and all the backs are normal. Beautifully clean finish. Will fool the knowledgeable ones. Now remade in slightly smaller cards making them easier to handle and in a laminated style finish to last longer. Not self working, requires a couple of easy slights But you'll have something different and entertaining. HIghly recomended

Two packets of four face down cards are shown and counted, one with red backs and one with blue backs. Two spectators are asked to chose a packet each and THINK of two different queens (NO FORCE). The performer states without touching the cards he will make the two thought of cards turn over in their packets and then change places !!! Sure enough he spreads the two packets and FACE UP one in each packet are the two thought of cards. He removes them and turns them over, they really have changes places, for the face up card in the blue packet has a red back and vice versa. The performer then shows that inexplicably the spectators chose the only cards that would work because when they are turned over all the other cards are JOKERS ! No extra cards. No sleight of hand. (A 2nd routine enclosed requires minimal sleights).

Acclaimed as the best trick of its type. And so easy to do. And one of my top best sellers!
